Red Cross volunteers are struggling to access remote parts of Papua New Guinea to assess the impact of a 7.6 magnitude earthquake.
At least seven people have been confirmed dead as a result of the earthquake, which struck the country’s eastern highlands region on Sunday morning.
Red Cross PNG secretary general Valachie Quagliata said the full scale of the damage is not yet understood.
“Papua New Guinea is a very geographically tough location to attend to the impacted areas,” he said.
